I missed mist this morning!

After last night\’s forecast, I expected to be like the person in this pic: almost blind in the fog. Much to my surprise, it wasn\’t very foggy; except for one stretch where any fog tends to be heavier, anyway.

It was a relief to be able to see where I was going; and I\’m glad that I missed mist. I could have worked on my speed, because I could actually see where I was going; I but decided to stick with my plan to ride short and easy. When I\’ve skipped a day because I didn\’t feel very well, it\’s probably wise not to jump right back into the intense stuff.

Now I\’m checking out tomorrow\’s forecast; and it isn\’t at all favorable. It\’s going to be one of those strange days when the high temperature is in the morning, with the mercury falling all day. Early in the day, the wind will already be 15-20 mph; maybe up to 30 mph by afternoon. Rain is all but certain. A grocery run seems unlikely; and I guess I\’ll have to put the bike in the trainer if I want to get in a little exercise.

By Sunday the rain should be over, but the wind will still be strong; gusts up to 30 mph. I wish such winds wouldn\’t occur on the day when I have a long ride planned. At least it should be a tailwind on the way home. Maybe I should swap things around and do my long ride on Monday? A three-day weekend comes in handy in more ways than one.
